The breakup is initiated, not by a Plateau-Rayleigh instability, but by liquid that flows from the tip of the thread to the neck where pinch-off occurs. This flow, faster than previously estimated, is driven by different curvatures at the tip and neck and runs through large gaps between thread and channel walls. Understanding how these curvatures evolve during bubble formation leads to accurate predictions of the moment of pinch-off.<br/>[Phys. Rev.

High speed cameras image polystyrene tracer particles in a flow between counterrotating disks. The measurements of acceleration variance ⟨a^{2} ⟩ clearly resolve the transition from the tracer like behavior of small particles to the much smaller accelerations of large particles. Two models of this transition from small to large particle behavior are critically examined. For d>5η, ⟨a^{2} ⟩ decreases with the diameter as d^{-2/3} , in agreement with inertial range scaling arguments.

Kozyreff, P. Assemat, and S. J. Chapman<br/>We analytically study the influence of boundaries on distant localized patterns generated by a Turing instability. To this end, we use the Swift-Hohenberg model with arbitrary boundary conditions. We find that the bifurcation diagram of these localized structures generally involves four homoclinic s...<br/>[Phys.

Takeuchi, Francesco Ginelli, and Hugues Chaté<br/>We show, using generic globally coupled systems, that the collective dynamics of large chaotic systems is encoded in their Lyapunov spectra: most modes are typically localized on a few degrees of freedom, but some are delocalized, acting collectively on the trajectory. For globally coupled maps, we ...<br/>[Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 154103] Published Fri Oct 09, 2009 Kazumasa A.
